ETC's Child Safety Commitment

At ETC, our unwavering commitment revolves around fostering and safeguarding the safety and welfare of all young people.

We acknowledge the intrinsic connection between ensuring the safety and welfare of young people and the successful realisation of our mission and vision. Aligned with our core organisational principles, ETC will actively champion young people’s mental health and well-being, nurture a culture that prioritises youth safety, engage with our youthful community, and actively mitigate the risks of harm.

We maintain a zero-tolerance stance against any form of child abuse and are steadfastly dedicated to establishing and implementing robust procedures for responding to such incidents. These procedures and practices align with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.

Promoting young people’s safety is a collective responsibility that falls upon ETC, its dedicated employees, and the broader community. You can download and read ETC’s Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
